Whats up everybody hope you are all doing well I have not sent a email out in a long time but I am still alive and well. The last time I sent an email I think i was in Omaha Nebraska but I have since I moved and am currently in Sioux Falls South Dakota which has been a blast. Sioux Falls is an interesting place I have seen some crazy things here. There is a decent amount of spanish people here we spend a lot of time in apartments and there is some crazy apartments here with just holes punched in walls trash everywhere and the most random crap painted on the walls and we get to just trudge through it everyday its awesome. We have been able to find some cool people we had a few that were going to get baptized one fell off though and the other guy got hit by a deer so that was sad we are trying to work with him to get him back but he still has to replace his car. We are still working with some other hype people too hoepfully they get baptized soon. I am also back with an old companion that I used to have named Elder Dalton he is chill we are having a lot of fun. Something I am defiently learning is how to place full control in the lord regardless of what happens we can only control what we control and then we have to trust in the lord it had not been easy to learn to put full trust in the lord and his plan but it is super important something I have been studying is 2 nephi 4 when Nephi went crazy about putting his trust in the lord

 2 Nephi 4:34 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm

I know that the key to happiness is to trust the lord and his plan instead of our own

Hope you all have a great week, I will try and send out more emails hopefully

Hey everybody hope everyone is doing good I decided I should probably send another email out since it's been a long time since I have sent one. I am still here in Sioux Falls South Dakota but since last time I wrote I have gotten a new companion. His name is Elder Gertsch and he is from Boise Idaho so thats been kind of fun talking about Idaho. We also got a baptism a while back for a girl named Sarahi which was pretty awesome. Honestly not a ton has happened just walking and talking to the spanish people here in South Dakota which has a lot more Spanish than I would have originally thought. I also have been trying a lot of new food here. About every time I go to a members house I eat something new which has generally been something related to sea food like when someone fed us seaweed. I am getting to the point in my mission where I have learned how to start cooking more than just microwaving things so the food game has improved. I have loved being on my mission even...

This was a crazy week. We started by flying to Omaha on Monday but when we got there we found out that we won't meet our trainers until Wednesday so we just had to stay in hotels for 2 days but that was pretty fun. We got to go explore winter quarters and then we got to go eat at President Bailey's house. Then on Wednesday we were given assignments and I was assigned to Lincoln Nebraska Spanish in a trio with Elder Hepworth and Elder Hammond but before we could leave we had to wait for a ride for 7 hours. Me and two other new Elders just walked around the Church and looked at the Tacomas that they won't let the Elders drive because they only allow the sisters to have them. Then we finally got our ride but we had so much luggage and mail that we couldn't see anyone in the car while we drove. Once I got to Lincoln I met my trainers. Elder Hammond has been out for over a year and is the trainer and he is awesome. Elder Hepworth has been out one transfer which is 6 weeks an...

Hello everybody hope you had a great week  Transfers were this week and I got transferred to Omaha which kind of sucks but it is a good area we actually have a Spanish Branch again which makes church fun. Before we left GI we got to say goodbye to the people we were teaching and some members and they took us to some Mexican reseraunt and bought a ton of tacos it was awesome but really sad that we were leaving. We were also told that are apartment was going to close so we spent a ton of time cleaning the heck out of it then they changed it at the last moment so other missionaries get to stay in our apartment. Omaha is pretty great though our first day we got a ton of food from some puerta ricans then later we were able to put someone on date for Baptism. This week has been kind of crazy but overall it's been good I was also able to read this week in the Book of Enos And he said unto me: Because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years ...
